Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town

Southern Carolina, somewhere on the coast,

    G
Yea, the first time I felt it I was only 16,
     D
And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree.
  G
Said "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl.
        Em                                 G
Man, I think I might just have to love them all –
D                G
My boys from the South.

D
Maybe in Kentucky, workin' in the mine.
G
Maybe down in Little Rock, just to pass the time.
D
Maybe he's somewhere in New Orleans,
G                           Em
Livin' it up in the Big Easy right now.

There's somethin' 'bout a boy from the South.

For anyone who is skipping the intro and end and just playing with the lyrics:
At the end of the song I like to do one E chord just for a finished feel.
